Kenwood Casita:1 Bedroom (Sleeps 2) 1 Bath in the Sonoma Valley

The “ Kenwood Casita” is in the town of Kenwood on California State Highway 12; 20 minutes east of the City of Santa Rosa and 15 minutes west of the City of Sonoma in the Sonoma Valley called by author Jack London the “Valley of the Moon”.

It is a detached 640 sq. ft. guest unit with 1 bedroom (sleeps -2), 1 bath, full kitchen, HVAC, seasonally heated pool, outdoor patio with BBQ and covered parking. RV or boat parking is available but no hook-ups are available.

A quiet, rural and private 2.50 acre parcel in the Sonoma Valley with views of the surrounding Mayacamas Mountains. The property has a small vineyard planted to Montepulciano grapes, over 50 fruit trees and a large herb and vegetable garden. Seasonal fruits, vegetables and herbs are available upon request during your stay. The property has a solar heated seasonal pool and poolside lounge chairs available for your use.

Sonoma County is rated one of the top 10 'vinous' travel destinations in the world by Wine Enthusiast Magazine, February 2014. As expected,wineries abound in the area offering public tours and tastings; some wineries offer appointment only tours and tastings and many wineries offer wines that only can be purchased at the winery. Frequently on a summer weekend evening music can drift quietly over the area from activities at either Chateau St Jean Winery or Landmark Winery which always ends by 10 PM.

The Kenwood Casita is within easy walking, cycling, or driving distances to numerous wineries, restaurants and Annandale, Sugarloaf and Mt. Hood parks.

Vacationer’s can take day trips by automobile to the very diverse areas of Sonoma County and surrounding Counties. Traveling east on Hwy 12 from Kenwood you will find numerous wineries, award winning restaurants and the City of Sonoma with shopping on their historic town square.

Heading north on Hwy 101 takes you to the City of Healdsburg, the Alexander and Russian River wine growing regions and wineries. Canoeing down the Russian River is a summer time favorite from Healdsburg to Guerneville. The Healdsburg Square also offers fine dining, eclectic shopping and wine tasting shops.

To the west and southwest of Petaluma you will find wineries, artisan cheese makers and gourmet olive oil producers offering their unique products. A return trip from the coast heading north on Highway 1 will find numerous waterfront restaurants serving local grown oysters, other seafood and of course libations

Your social interchange with the owners John and Pamela is as expansive or limited as you wish.

If you are looking for a place to relax, read in a quiet country setting; hike, bike, canoe or golf; take in fine dining, sip the finest wines offered in the Sonoma Valley or Sonoma County the Kenwood Casita and your hosts John and Pamela are there to make your stay as enjoyable as possible

Amazing throughout the entire week!

Not only was the casita well appointed in every area but the gardens that guests have total access to utilizing are beautifully kept and lush. We so enjoyed fresh strawberries each day not to mention the figs which I LOVE as well as tomatoes, carrots and green beans. John and Pamela were very gracious hosts and even had us over to share a bottle of their private label Montepulciano wine which was wonderful. Also loved watching the birds, especially the flock of hummingbirds which require at least once daily filling of multiple feeders. The pool was great on the days that it was quite hot. Casita is also very conveniently located for multiple activities and John and Pamela were great with recommendations and directions. Highly recommend and would definitely stay there again!

I would highly recommend. Beautiful, peaceful setting close to vineyards, restaurants and shopping. Beautiful property with a garden and small Vineyard. Fresh strawberries, vegetables and bottle of wine given to us by John and Pamela. So very comfortable and relaxing. Enjoyed the pool. Perfect area. Amazing hummingbirds galore. Will stay longer on a return trip. I could go on forever...

Romantic Wine Country Retreat

This is a wonderful rental for a romantic weekend getaway! It's central to many wineries, great restaurants and the town square of Sonoma is just a small drive. Pamela and John are wonderful hosts and have a lovely garden which we used to supplement our patio breakfast with fresh strawberries. The casita has everything you would need and it's clear, John and Pamela have put a lot of thought into making their guests feel comfortable. Having a pool just outside your front door is a major plus!

All you need for a long weekend in CA!

My husband & I made the trip out to Kenwood CA from NJ for a family wedding at the nearby winery, Kunde Estate. This was our first trip to CA and we couldn't have been happier with our stay at the Casita. John and Pamela were very informative by taking in our interests/likes and giving us suggestions of points of interests within the area. The wineries in the area were wonderful; the restaurants were fantastic! A few wineries were even walking distance from the house. The Casita was clean and accurately portrayed from the pictures on HomeAway. If we are ever back in CA, we would definitely go back to the Kenwood Casita!!

Sonoma County alone has numerous wineries offering tours, tastings and food pairings to keep any wine enthusiast very busy.
